## [Groovy] Class StaxBuilder

- groovy.xml.StaxBuilder

-     class StaxBuilder
      extends BuilderSupport

  A Groovy builder that works with Stax processors. A typical usage is as follows:

       import javax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory
       def factory = XMLOutputFactory.newInstance()
       def writer = new StringWriter()
       def builder = new groovy.xml.StaxBuilder(factory.createXMLStreamWriter(writer))
       builder.root1(a:5, b:7) {
           elem1('hello1')
           elem2('hello2')
           elem3(x:7)
       }
       assert writer.toString() == 'hello1hello2'

  Or an external library such as Jettison can be used as follows:

       @Grab('org.codehaus.jettison:jettison:1.2')
       import org.codehaus.jettison.mapped.*
       import javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException

       def conv = new MappedNamespaceConvention()
       def writer = new StringWriter()
       def mappedWriter = new MappedXMLStreamWriter(conv, writer)
       def builder = new groovy.xml.StaxBuilder(mappedWriter)
       builder.root1(a:5, b:7) {
           elem1('hello1')
           elem2('hello2')
           elem3(x:7)
       }
       assert writer.toString() == '''{"root1":{"@a":"5","@b":"7","elem1":"hello1","elem2":"hello2","elem3":{"@x":"7"}}}'''
